Nature of Love

I’ve been waiting for you to reverse the handsOf time. But you won’t say what I need to hear,So now I know you can’t rebuild what you burned.

Burning…

You spent all my life seeping demons into me, from youAnd you made me earn but never showed a seed of your truthMy personal monster among all the shadowy men,You wonder why I could never love you, ever again.I hope your sweet words lie to me one last time, poison my sippy cupBut I already know the truth is your DNA will always be screwed upShort fuse, half truths, games, and putting a knife through my new bedBut you burned too much of our hearts and now the fire’s deadAnd I can’t give you redemption.

Bleeding…

I’ve had you swimming in my mind too oftenBut you’ve already gone- are you broken too?Are you all alone these days, just like meOr are you moving forward, let me seePush me, push me, push, I pull awayBut you need me, you tell me to stayYou know if the walls could talk we’d fall from graceReputation blackened, mahogany stains on pearl laceI can think but I don’t want toCause when you talk fast, it’s all youI could never have made you a better personNo matter how many chances with each new monsoon

Burning…

Bleeding…

No matter where I go, I’ll always remember the places I’ve beenEven though I know it’s all gone I can’t forget the ugly sin
